Chapter Fourteen - The Question
I fell asleep, cocooned between the bosoms of Grace and Mandy, their faux
penises poking me, serving as a constant reminder that I'd submitted to
them during our lovemaking. When I awoke, the touch of thick cocks
pressing into my body let me know that they were cradling me between them.
They slept soundly on either side of me.
I grabbed each of their pricks and began to slowly, gently, jack off the
protruding end, causing the portion inserted inside each of their pussies
to massage them. Eventually, they each began to respond, sighing
appreciatively, moaning their pleasure as I hand-fucked each of them out of
their dreams.
Grace murmured in my ear, "Oh Sissy! You nasty little girl. That feels
soooo good baby."
I smiled, happy that I was able to give each of them a special wake up
call. I continued for a good ten minutes before Grace pulled her cock out
of my hand. Suddenly, I could feel her pressing it against my anus,
indicating her intention to fuck me. I needed no extra coaxing. I wanted
it. Pressing my opening back toward her, I wriggled my ass, helping her
slide inside of me.
Inch by inch, she drove deeper and deeper, until I could feel her pelvis
pressed firmly against my butt. Once inside of me, Grace stopped,
satisfied to be filling me with her hard, rubber phallus. Reaching one arm
over my chest, she squeezed one of my falsies and massaged me. I marveled
at how nice it felt to have her fondle my silicone boobies. A brief
thought flickered through my mind at how good it actually might feel if
they were real.
As we lay quietly, my ass stuffed with cock, Mandy breathed the deep,
sensuous sound of peaceful sleep. Grace whispered in my ear, "Do you
realize how happy you make me Danni?"
I sighed. "I'm glad that I make you happy," I answered. "I like pleasing
you."
"Mmmmmm. You certainly do."
Slowly, she began to move inside of me. Her efforts were welcomed. The
thought that was invading my mind - namely - that I was beginning to like
being fucked in this way by Grace, disturbed me. When she filled me, I
found myself wishing it wouldn't end. I no longer was anxious for it to
end. Instead, I was anxious that it would end. What had happened to cause
this shift in my reaction to being invaded in this manner?
As Grace built up speed, her sexual urgency became more pronounced. She
began moaning, no doubt due to the protrusion filling her pussy.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" she sighed as she fucked me harder and harder. "You
feel so, so, good Sissy," she growled in my ear.
She was right. I did "...feel so, so good."
Grace removed her hand from my boob and began to gently squeeze my penis as
she rocked her cock in and out of me. I sensed a change in her rhythm.
She was nearing orgasm. Me too. I wanted it with a quiet desperation. My
cream squirted into Grace's hand just as she reached her climax.
Simultaneously sated, Grace collapsed against my back, her full breasts
pressing firmly against my body. As we lay snuggled closely, Grace moved
her hand, covered with my sperm, to my mouth. I didn't even attempt to
fight her. Willingly I accepted her spunky fingers between my lips,
sucking her slender, slippery digits into my mouth, cleaning my discharge
off of them.
The room was still and quiet as we lay together in our post-coital state of
bliss, Mandy whispering the deep, peaceful breath of sleep beside us.
"I love you baby," Grace whispered into my ear, her warm breath sensuously
arousing. "So much!"
In that moment I felt no regrets about anything I'd let Grace do to me. I
loved this woman. And she loved me! Suddenly, I couldn't wait to get
Mandy up so we could dress to go shopping for a ring.
I rose to get out of bed.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Grace responded to my sudden move into action.
"To make some coffee. Get Mandy up. She and I have plans today."
"You and Mandy!?" she asked, true surprise in her voice. "What about me?"
she pouted, clearly disappointed that she wasn't included.
Grinning devilishly, I bent down and kissed her. "Sorry baby, but you
can't come with us. This is something Mandy and I have to do alone.
You'll have to think of something else to occupy yourself with today."
I could see that this sudden announcement had thrown her for a loop. Grace
wasn't used to being the one who was on the outside of a scheme.
Leaving her to wonder what in the world Mandy and I were up to, I swished
off to the kitchen to make coffee.
As I moved comfortably around Grace's kitchen, preparing the coffee to
brew, my mind reflected upon just how quickly my romance with Grace had
proceeded. Within less than two months, I'd gone from a single, semi-shy,
attorney, who had little luck with women, to this moment where I was
preparing to ask for the hand in marriage of, not only the most beautiful
woman I'd ever been with, but a woman who any man would be proud to have as
a wife. And the things I'd done along the journey with Grace were
previously unimaginable.
My mind must have been miles away when Mandy slipped up beside me and
hugged me from behind.
"Boy do you have her worked up in there!" she declared.
Mandy. That was another thing. Was it only a few days ago that I was
deathly afraid of her finding me out? Then, last night with Grace. Wow!
I felt so comfortable with Mandy. Oddly enough, she no longer frightened
me in the least. She was someone I felt I could share my most private
thoughts.
"Really?!" I giggled. "Excellent! It's about time I had the upper hand on
her. Do you think she suspects anything?"
"I don't think so. I just told her that we had to do something that she
couldn't help us do and that I was sure she'd understand later. Still,
it's driving her crazy. She can't even decide what to do to fill her time
today. I think she'd actually planned to hang with you today since she's
been gone all week. So we've really thrown her for a loop."
I poured three cups of coffee, adding to Grace's a little cream and sugar.
Lifting my cup, I toasted Mandy's, saying, "To a successful mission today!"
"A successful mission," she grinned as she touched her cup to mine.
"What are you going to wear today?" I asked.
"I don't have any clothes here other than what I wore last night. I was
thinking of borrowing a pair of Grace's jeans and a t-shirt. Let's just be
comfortable today."
"Sounds like a plan," I replied. Picking up Grace's coffee, I said, "I
think I'll take this to Grace before it gets cold."
"I'm going to shower in the guest room," Mandy said. "See you in a few."
We each set about getting ready for our momentous shopping excursion.
Butterflies were flipping cartwheels in my stomach.
Grace was already out of the shower when I entered her bedroom. She was
drying her hair with the towel, standing nude before her picture window,
gazing out upon the Potomac River. I marveled again that this amazingly
beautiful and sexy creature was in love with me, and that before the day
was done, I'd be asking her to marry me.
Slipping up next to her I placed the coffee cup in her hand, and let my now
free hand roam her buttocks.
Glancing briefly toward me out of the corner of her eye, she shot me a look
of mock anger. "I'm mad at you," she said with just enough of a teasing
tone to let me know she wasn't really mad. "I don't like being left out!"
Laughing softly I told her not to worry. She had no reason to be concerned
- that this was something Mandy and I had decided to do a while ago, and
that I'd be sure to make it up to her. "In fact," I said, "I'd like to
take you someplace special tonight for dinner. You can even pick the
spot."
"Wellll," she began. "I'm still mad! But maybe you can make it up to me
tonight when we're alone."
Then, she turned to me and pulled me close. "Danni," she said. "Thank you
for last night. That was really special to me that you opened up to Mandy
and me together. I know you worry sometimes about some of the things we've
done. But I think you're beginning to see it's fun, and just another way
to show each other our love."
I smiled inwardly, pleased to hear Grace express her satisfaction with me.
"Of course," I whispered. "Now I have to take a shower so Mandy and I can
get going." We smooched and I spun to go into the bathroom.
I removed the lingerie I'd worn to bed and then stepped into the shower,
turning the water on full blast. The warmth of the wet jets felt
wonderful. Lingering under the heat I began practicing what I'd say to
Grace tonight when I asked her to marry me. And I prayed that Mandy wasn't
wrong, and that Grace wouldn't decline. That would be awful. After all
I'd done to win her love - to find that she couldn't marry me because I
wasn't man enough for her would be devastating.
After exiting the shower, I dried off, shaved, and brushed my teeth. By
the time I entered the bedroom Grace was already dressed and gone to the
other room. Lying on her bed was a pair of jeans, a light blue t-shirt,
and a pink nylon thong. I wondered who was responsible for the selection -
Grace or Mandy. I had planned to wear my own clothes, but decided it
wasn't worth making an issue out of. The only thing iffy were the jeans,
as they were clearly a pair of Grace's, but I knew that plenty of men wore
tight fitting jeans these days, so I figured I could pull it off.
I pulled the thong up my legs and nestled my penis snugly in the pouch. At
least with a thong I wouldn't have to worry about someone seeing a panty
line in the bottom of the jeans. The jeans did fit snugly too. I had to
work my bottom in and then pull the button at the top together to connect
them at my waist. The t-shirt fit a bit tight as well, but not so much
that it was obviously a woman's fit. Thankfully, I had a pair of my own
tennis shoes that I was able to wear and they definitely were a man's
style.
Walking out of the bedroom, I saw Mandy and Grace on the balcony, sipping
coffee and talking animatedly together. Grace's hair hung down her back,
still wet. She had on a pair of gym shorts and her new Mile High Club t-
shirt. I had a feeling she would wear that proudly for a while. And every
time she did, I'd think of her getting gang-banged by her boss and the
entire flight crew. And also, most probably, me cleaning their spunk out
of her. At least, that's the thought that ran through my mind at the
moment. Mandy was wearing a tight, white tank top, and a pair of jean
shorts with her heels from the evening before. She looked amazingly hot.
The only thing that worried me was that she looked so outrageously hot that
people would be checking her ass out wherever we went. Which meant that
there was a higher risk that people would notice that I was also wearing
tight jeans that could be mistaken for women's jeans. What was I saying?
Mistaken? They were women's jeans! Shoot! Now I was going to be worrying
all day about people looking at my ass! Crap! How did I keep getting
myself into these situations?
As I walked out they went quiet and turned to me, smiling as they checked
out my outfit.
Mandy was first, "Wow! You look great! I hope you don't get all of the
attention today."
Great! That was not what I needed to hear.
"Very nice fit Danni," Grace added. "Turn around," she ordered.
Blushing, I spun so Grace could check out my ass.
"Yes," she said. "Very nice. You know, I bet you could get by with never
buying jeans again."
Confused, I looked at her and asked, "Huh?"
"You could just wear mine. They fit you great. And you look amazing in
them!"
Other than the idea that she seemed to consider that we were going to be
together for a while, the idea of only wearing women's jeans from now on
was not a particularly pleasant thought. I did not mind dressing up for
Grace. But I really didn't want to always have to wear some outward sign
that she had feminized me.
In the end, I let her comment pass and asked Mandy if she was ready.
"As ready as I'll ever be," she replied. She gave Grace a hug and an
affectionate peck on the cheek.
I gave Grace a hug and a kiss and said goodbye. "I'll see you later.
Don't forget to make reservations for us somewhere nice," I reminded her.
"Okay," she said, a little pout, for effect, on her face. "You two behave
yourselves. I'm still mad that I can't come. You're not nice!" she
laughed.
Mandy and I stepped into the elevator and as soon as the door closed we
began roaring hysterically.
"She really can't stand being left out, can she!?" I burst out laughing.
"No! She's been like that forever," Mandy added. "Even in college. She
hated it if she wasn't the first to know about some big party or event.
But she's going to be so happy tonight when you give her a ring. I just
know she will be."
"I hope so. I don't know what I'll do if she says no."
Mandy said flatly, "That won't happen. I know Grace. She loves you.
You're the person she wants to spend her life with. No other man does for
her what you do Danni. I promise you."
What Mandy said was part of what concerned me. No other "man" did for
Grace what I did for her. That was true. Other "men" could please her
sexually the way a "man" should. But not me. Was that going to be enough
for Grace?
Mandy and I decided that we should be able to find plenty of jewelry stores
in Georgetown, so we didn't have to drive anywhere. We first walked up and
down a few streets, window-shopping. After an hour or so of checking out
the various jewelry stores, we decided on the ones we wanted to focus upon.
We entered the first shop we wanted to look in and approached the counter,
looking into the cases at the various diamond rings. A woman approached us
and asked if she could help. Mandy took charge right away.
"We're looking for an engagement ring," she advised.
"Oh? Are you two getting married?"
Mandy looked perturbed. "Of course not! Would I bring my boyfriend in to
help him buy me a ring? I'm just a friend. Danni is looking for a ring
for his girlfriend. I'm helping." Then, to lighten things up, she added,
"Helping him spend a ton of money on a diamond! She's my best friend!"
The two girls began laughing loudly, each enjoying Mandy's joke at my
expense.
The woman turned to me and asked, "So what are you thinking of?"
"Uh, ah, I d, don't know," I stuttered, suddenly nervous. "Th, that's why
I br, brought her," I said, referring to Mandy. "What would you suggest?"
"Well, we have plenty of beautiful diamonds of various shapes and sizes. I
don't think we'll have any trouble finding a diamond to suit your needs.
What I meant was, what are you thinking of spending?"
"Oh!" I said, suddenly understanding. "I, ah, I don't know. Mandy? Any
thoughts?"
"Well, you just got that big bonus. You could really go all out and not
feel it. If I were you, I'd want to get Grace a ring that would say to her
that she is more valuable to you than anything she could imagine."
I still didn't understand. I looked to her for guidance.
"Twenty?" she said.
I knew she didn't mean twenty dollars. I noticed the clerk's eyes grow
huge at the mention of twenty.
"Thousand?" I asked, seeking clarification.
Mandy smiled and nodded. "That would still leave plenty for a fantastic
honeymoon."
I don't know what I'd been thinking, but it wasn't twenty thousand dollars.
But I was trusting Mandy on this. If she thought I needed to spend that
much, then that was what I was going to do. I didn't want to leave
anything to chance with Grace. I tried to imagine her reaction tonight
when I presented her with a ring. I wanted her to be blown away.
"Okay then," I said to the clerk. "Let's see what you have."
She walked from behind the counter and motioned us to follow her to the
back of the store. "Come this way," she said. "We don't keep those
diamonds out front."
Mandy and I gave each other a quick glance as we were led out of the public
portion of the store. The clerk introduced herself as Sally and took us
into a very nice sitting room with a coffee table decorated as if it were
someone's living room.
After seating us, Sally said she was going to retrieve their special
diamond display. She asked us if we'd like anything to drink, suggesting
wine. I hesitated, but Mandy quickly accepted.
"That would be wonderful!" she declared.
My head was in a whirl. I don't know what I'd expected, but this level of
treatment was not contemplated. I suppose when you mention dropping twenty
grand, you get the attention of a merchant.
A cute young girl returned with a bottle of cabernet blanc white wine and
two glasses. Also on her tray were cheese and crackers. She smiled as she
greeted us and opened the bottle, pouring us each a glass.
"Enjoy!" she said. "Let me know if you'd like anything else."
Mandy laughed and said, "We certainly will! Thank you very much!" She
then raised her glass to mine and said, "To Grace!"
"To Grace," I responded. We each took a sip of our wine. It was
delicious. I had to admit that a little alcohol at this point was probably
not a bad thing for me.
We finished one glass before Sally returned with a cart that had several
cases arranged on the top.
"Okey dokey!" she said. "I think I have some diamonds here that will suit
your needs Danni. By the way, that's a sweet name. I like it."
"Uh, er, th, thanks," I said, not really happy that she'd seen fit to
comment upon Grace and Mandy's pet name for me.
"The first thing I'd like to do," Sally went on, "is to give you a little
education on diamonds. I'm guessing this is your first, and hopefully last
engagement ring, so I want to be sure you know what you're getting for your
girlfriend. Okay?"
"Sure," I replied.
Sally began showing various diamonds and explained the many qualities to
look for when choosing a diamond. She discussed flaws and facets, weight,
etc. It took her quite a while. Mandy asked most of the questions.
Meanwhile, we each continued to drink wine. The bottle was nearly finished
by the time we got around to talking about which diamond we wanted to
select for Grace's ring.
I had to acknowledge that before this moment I'd rarely thought much about
diamonds. I had never dated anyone long enough for marriage to even enter
my thought process. The amount of information Sally imparted was quite
impressive - and helpful. By the time we got around to selecting diamonds
for Grace's ring, I was beginning to have a good idea of what I wanted.
I decided upon a beautiful, two caret traditional cut stone for a center
stone, flanked on either side by two one caret, triangle shaped stones.
The stones were to be set in a platinum ring. The only question left was
size and whether they could make it happen today.
Mandy, grinning wickedly, reached into her purse and withdrew a ring,
holding it up, "I snuck this out of Grace's jewelry box this morning. I've
seen her wear it on her engagement ring finger, so I know it is the correct
size."
I looked at Sally, "So, can you get it set today?"
Sally frowned, as if that might be difficult. "We usually require a little
more time. But our jeweler is in today. Let me see if he can do it
today."
She left Mandy and me alone to go check with her jeweler. We looked at
each other, grinning, but also anxious. I really wanted to do this
tonight.
Mandy took my hand to reassure me. "It's going to work out. Watch."
Within a few minutes Sally returned smiling. "You're in luck! Caesar
doesn't have anything else urgent today. He's going to get right on it.
But it will still be several hours. We close at six p.m. Can you come
back then?"
I checked my watch. It was only noon. Mandy answered, "No problem! That
would be perfect. We'll see you at six."
'Okay. I guess it is decided then,' I thought. We took care of payment
details and then Mandy and I wandered back out into the now busy throng of
Georgetown tourists and shoppers. Without a doubt, the streets of
Georgetown had to be the busiest in the world on a Saturday or Sunday
afternoon.
Turning to Mandy, I said, "So what do we do now? We have lots of time to
kill."
"I don't know about you, but I'm famished. We completely skipped breakfast
this morning. And between you and me, last night used up a lot of energy,"
she laughed.
Her reference to our sexual escapades of the previous evening made me
blush. But now that she mentioned it, I was hungry. I'd eaten a few
cheese crackers at the jewelry store, but I could eat lunch.
"Sounds good to me," I agreed.
We walked down to the riverfront and found a nice caf? overlooking the
Potomac. The afternoon was beautiful. I noticed men walking by cast looks
toward Mandy. She really was a visually exotic woman. I could understand
how men would lust for her. It was kind of fun thinking that the men
checking her out must have imagined that she was with me. Even guys with
girls would furtively take a quick look at Mandy. For her part, she seemed
oblivious to the stares. I suppose she was so used to it that she no
longer took notice.
When our waiter approached our table Mandy immediately ordered us a bottle
of white wine. I was feeling pretty intoxicated at this point, but Mandy
was the assertive one, so I didn't offer any objection. When he returned,
he brought a basket of bread as well, thank goodness.
He poured us each a glass of wine and said he'd be back in a minute to take
our order.
Mandy raised her glass. "This is a day full of toasts! To us!" she
laughed.
I laughed with her as I raised my glass to hers. "To us!" We each took
big gulps of our wine.
I looked at Mandy and said, "I really can't thank you enough Mandy. For
everything. For today. For last night. But mostly for being someone I
can be with who knows about Grace and me and, ah, what we do, and who
accepts me nonetheless. It's hard for me sometimes to accept what she
wants from me, but I want to make her happy. It helps having a friend who
knows, and yet, doesn't judge me badly."
She smiled at me as I confessed my confusion. "For you Danni. What Grace
does, for you. And it is no problem at all for me. I care for you a great
deal. Plus, you have made my best friend very happy. Shoot! I look
forward to sharing your lives together almost as much as the two of you
probably will."
I considered what she said. 'For me?' What Grace did 'for me?' As
opposed to, what she expected 'from me?' What did Mandy mean?
Mandy was studying me as I considered her words. "Danni - you were always
meant for Grace. And likewise, she was always meant for you. No other
woman would have discovered the 'you' that you are, as Grace has done. And
no one else could give Grace what you give her. Always know that - no
matter what else happens. Always know that."
Our conversation was interrupted when the waiter reappeared to take our
orders. We each ordered huge hamburgers and sides of fries. I was
definitely hungry at this point, as was Mandy. I figured we would hang out
here for a while to kill some time. And we did. But even with that, we
still had a lot of time left to burn. Around two-thirty, Mandy asked how
I'd feel about following her around a few dress shops. She was always on
the lookout for a new dress.
I said that would be fine. I paid the check and we went off in search of
some shops for Mandy. Mandy proved to be a very efficient shopper. She
would breeze into a shop, me in tow, and quickly scan the racks and decide
whether there was anything worthy of her closer attention. She tried on
several dresses, asking me to help her decide what looked good and what
didn't. In truth, nothing didn't look good on Mandy. Some dresses,
however, did look better. She had such beautiful legs that anything short
and revealing looked amazing on her. Every now and then, she'd try
something on, and I would have a fleeting thought about how it might look
on me.
Mandy ended up buying three cute dresses during our shopping excursion. We
still had about an hour before picking up Grace's ring. As we walked down
the main street I received a text message from Grace.
"When will you be home? I have reservations at eight. You need to dress
up!"
I showed it to Mandy. She smiled. "It's going to be a special night
Danni. I wish I could be there to see her face."
I smiled. "Me too Mandy. I'm so excited. And nervous. I wonder where
she picked for a restaurant? I hope she'll think it was a good enough
place to be asked to get married."
Mandy laughed. "Ha! Knowing Grace, if you told her to pick a nice
restaurant for you to take her to dinner, she probably picked the most
expensive restaurant in Washington."
"You're probably right!" I agreed, laughing. We each knew Grace well. The
only difference was that, no matter how well I knew her, I still never
quite knew how to predict her until it was too late, whereas Mandy seemed
to be able to read her thoughts.
I texted Grace back, "We're not quite done yet, but I think I can make
eight okay. See you soon."
She quickly replied. "K. Love you!"
I smiled at her reply. I responded, "U2"
Mandy and I continued walking, killing time until we could pick up Grace's
ring. I was daydreaming about the evening, thinking of the moment, when
Mandy began tugging me on the arm.
"Come on Danni," she said, as she pulled me behind her. "Let's go in
here."
She led me into a shop. It took me a moment or two to get my bearings, but
suddenly I realized where I was. It was Grace's lingerie shop, "Satin and
Lace." I glanced around and discovered that I was the only male in the
shop. Mandy was pulling me toward the back of the shop when I saw the
young girl, Gretchen, who'd helped Grace and me when we were last there.
She bounced over to us, her pert breasts bobbing inside of her tight, black
lace, camisole shirt.
"Hi Mandy!" she screeched like they were old sorority sisters. They hugged
and smooched. Gretchen looked at me, a funny look in her eyes. Then, they
lit up in recognition. "Danni?" she asked. "Is that you?"
I must have turned beet red as I realized that today, I was not dressed as
a woman, as I'd been during my last visit. So she had to read me
backwards, as it were.
Not wanting to draw more attention to myself than necessary, I whispered to
Gretchen, "Yes, it's me. How are you?"
Ever ebullient, Gretchen hugged me too. "I'm amazing! It's so good to see
you again! Are you looking for some more items to add to your wardrobe?"
Before I could answer, Mandy interrupted. "Actually, we're here to look at
wedding lingerie."
Gretchen looked surprised. I was stunned. What was Mandy up to?
"Really?!" Gretchen exclaimed. "Who's getting married?"
Mandy drew Gretchen close, and in a conspiratorial whisper, said, "I'm
letting you in on a secret, so you can't act like you know, but Grace is
getting married. To Danni! We're here to surprise her by purchasing
lingerie for her wedding day."
That was when it hit me. This was no accident. Mandy intended to drag me
in here. Okay. I could go with this. Buying Grace her lingerie to wear
on her wedding day might be kind of fun.
Gretchen looked to me for confirmation.
"I'm asking her tonight," I confided. Going along with Mandy, I added, "We
thought it might be fun to surprise her by purchasing lingerie for our
wedding day."
Gretchen squealed her delight. "I think that is a fantastic idea! And I'm
certain Grace will be pleased. Come on! Let's get started!" she said as
she began helping us to comb the racks.
As a guy, I think I understood, or at least was aware, that women enjoyed
shopping for clothes. What I don't think I thoroughly understood though
was how much they enjoyed shopping for the sexy underthings that were, for
the most part, hidden from the rest of the world. When you stop to think
about it, a lot of effort, and a ton of money, is spent by women buying
clothing that is only intended for a select few people in their lives to
see. Ever since I'd begun letting Grace dress me in women's clothing, I
had opportunities to observe first hand how involved the selection of
lingerie is.
While I would normally have been very nervous and uncomfortable doing so,
having already spent one day with Gretchen shopping for lingerie for
myself, albeit while dressed en femme, I didn't feel quite so uncomfortable
with Gretchen and Mandy shopping for Grace's wedding day lingerie. In
fact, it was quite exciting to think that I was able to hand select the
sexy lingerie my bride would be wearing for me on our wedding day.
Mandy and Gretchen did most of the selecting. I was simply asked whether I
liked a particular item that they thought would be sexy, and that Grace
would like. By now I probably shouldn't have been, but I was, nonetheless,
a bit amazed at how many different things there were to outfit a woman for
her wedding lingerie - panties, garter-belt, basque, stockings, bra, slip
and camisole, a nightie and gown for the wedding night. And there were so
many options and combinations to choose from.
Mandy and Gretchen were scanning the racks like mad-women, trying to find
the perfect, and sexiest, wedding day lingerie possible. My mind was a
blur as I approved various different selections.
We ended up buying several different ensembles. For the wedding day, we
bought a white satin and lace padded bustier, adorned with pearls and a
lacy skirt, a pretty white bow beneath the bra cups. There were six garter
straps on either side. The bustier came with a matching white thong panty.
For stockings, we selected a pair of sheer white, silk back-seamed
stockings. The stockings were woven with a lace grapevine pattern that
enhanced the sexiness of the wearer's legs. We also selected a sheer,
gossamer slip that was intended to enhance the sexy bustier to be worn
beneath it.
For the wedding night, we picked out a short, see-through, net baby-doll,
with a matching coverlet, and a pair of sheer ruffled panties. We bought
several other similarly revealing and sexy bedtime outfits. We bought a
sexy red baby-doll for the second night of the Honeymoon, as a symbol of
innocence lost following the first night of the Honeymoon, as if there was
any innocence left for Grace to lose.
Mandy seemed quite pleased with our little side excursion. By the time
Gretchen had everything nicely wrapped, it was time to pick up Grace's ring
from the jeweler. We thanked Gretchen for her help and hustled off, arms
full of our purchases for the day, excited to see the finished engagement
ring.
I was getting more nervous by the minute, worrying about Grace's reaction
to the proposal I was about to make in a public place. I would be
devastated, after all I'd been through, if she turned me down. Mandy told
me to stop worrying about it - there was no way that Grace was going to say
no. But I couldn't help myself.
The ring was magnificent. In all honesty, I'd never seen a more stunningly
beautiful engagement ring. Grace would have to be suitably impressed.
That much was certain.
Sally wrapped it up in a nice little box with a pink bow. We hugged her
and thanked her and Caesar for getting it ready so quickly.
Mandy and I walked quickly back to Grace's. When we arrived, Mandy said
goodbye. Her car was parked on the street in front of Grace's. She gave
me a big hug and wished me well. When I again expressed my anxiety, Mandy
pulled me close and said, "Listen to me. Grace loves you Danni. She isn't
going to say no. Now you just make up your mind to make this the best,
most memorable evening ever. Whatever she wants, you do. If you do that,
I promise you that when you pop the question at the right moment, there is
no way she will decline your proposal. Okay?"
I smiled at her encouragement and said, "Okay!"
"That's my girl!" she exhorted me and kissed me on the cheek. She then
slipped into her car and left me to go get dressed for my date with Grace.
I took two deep breaths to collect myself, and walked into the apartment
lobby. Walter was working this evening. I was becoming such a regular
visitor to Grace's apartment that he welcomed me much as he greeted the
tenants of the building. "Good evening Danni," he said. "How are you
doing this beautiful day?"
"Excellent Walter," I replied truthfully, although slightly uncomfortably,
from wondering what he thought of the tight, feminine jeans I was wearing.
He walked beside me to the elevator and held the doors open for me as he
pressed the button for Grace's floor.
"Thank you Walter," I said as the doors began to close. Our eyes caught
momentarily. 'Was he just looking at my butt?' I wondered. There seemed
to be a slight recognition in his eyes. Did he realize what I was wearing?
As soon as the doors closed, and I was alone in the elevator, I shook it
off. I wasn't going to let anything mess up the evening. Nothing.
When the doors opened, Grace was standing there to greet me, a Cosmo in
each hand, hers half consumed. I was stunned to the point that I froze.
Grace looked incredible. Had she ever looked hotter? I didn't think so.
"Hi baby," she greeted me. "Welcome home," she continued as she offered me
a drink. She immediately touched her glass to mine and said, "To a
wonderful evening!" She then downed the rest of her martini as I took a
full gulp of mine. Wow! It was a potent mix. I wouldn't be able to drink
many of those.
Grace pulled me close and hugged me, pressing her boobs firmly against my
chest. She glanced down and noticed the packages I was carrying, and then
gave me a questioning look, as if to ask what I was doing with so many
'Satin and Lace' bags. I smiled at her curiosity.
"Gifts," I answered her unspoken question. "For later."
"Mmmmm," she growled. "I can't wait. I suppose you need to hurry up, or
we'll be late for our reservation. Maybe I can help you?"
"Yeah, I better get going. You said you picked me out something to wear
tonight?" I asked.
"I did," she confirmed. "I hope you like it. I am so excited! I can
barely wait to see you how you look. I really don't mind helping you get
ready."
For her part, Grace, as I mentioned, looked amazing. She wore a very
short, very tight, black mini-dress with spaghetti straps. Her breasts
were practically pouring out of the top of her dress. She had on a diamond
necklace, a diamond tennis bracelet, and dangling diamond earrings. She
wore black high heels, at least 4, maybe 5 inches high. She also was
wearing black, stay-up stockings, the top adorned with a 3-inch band of
lace that showed below her dress hem. Her hair was pulled back tight at
the front and piled high upon her head and woven into a bun. She looked
serious. And seriously hot.
Grace followed me into her bedroom as I went to shower and change. What
immediately caught my eye was the clothing that was lying on her bed. I
abruptly turned to Grace, but before I could protest what I quickly
surmised was her idea of what I was going to wear out to dinner with her,
she stopped me.
"Please baby? Please don't say no. I really went to a lot of trouble to
pick this out today. Please say you'll give it a try."
Before I could argue with her, Mandy's words only a few minutes before,
rang back in my head. "You just make up your mind to make this the best,
most memorable evening ever. Whatever she wants, you do." This was going
to be difficult for me. I had fully expected that I was going to propose
to Grace tonight. Now, if I was going to do so, I would be doing so while
dressed in feminine attire. That's right. The "outfit" Grace had chosen
for me was a dress, with a full complement of assorted women's clothing to
go with it.
"Uh, okay Grace," I agreed without a fight. "Are you sure I won't
embarrass you?" I asked, hoping she'd rethink it, and maybe relent.
"Embarrass me?" she scoffed. "No way! But if you'll let me help you, I'm
confident that I can make sure you look good enough to pass. What do you
say?"
I only had to think about her offer for a second. I needed to hurry. And
if I was going to go out in public wearing a dress, I wanted to look my
best. I needed help.
"Sure," I told her. "That would be great. Thanks."
Grace clapped her hands, and smiled her smile, that I'd come to know so
well - she'd just gotten her way with me again.
"Goody!" she squeaked. "Go hop in the shower and do a good shave. I'll be
waiting to help you dress when you're done. Hurry! Hurry! Our
reservation is in an hour and a half. We don't have much time."
I smiled ruefully at what I'd allowed myself to get drawn into. Not only
was tonight the night I planned to ask Grace to marry me, but it appeared
that I was going to do so while dressed as a woman. What an inauspicious
beginning to our wedding commitment to each other!
Stripping out of the clothes I'd worn shopping with Mandy, I jumped in the
shower and lathered up real good. The warm water felt great. I could have
stood there forever. Unfortunately, I had to hurry. I shut the water off
and applied shave cream to my legs. Having become quite adept at the
strokes necessary to shave my legs, I was able to accomplish the task
expeditiously. I turned the water back on and rinsed the shave cream off
of my legs. I then lathered my face and shaved what little fine hairs
remained.
Reluctantly, I then shut off the water, stepped out, and dried off. Almost
instinctively, I rubbed some of Grace's jasmine scented body lotion on my
legs, and then entered her bedroom to finish getting ready. Grace was
waiting for me when I walked in. Lying on her bed were my DD breast forms.
Grace was holding an aerosol spray can. She told me to lie down on her
bed, on my back. When I looked at her quizzically, not understanding what
she meant, she impatiently motioned me to hurry up and lie down.
"We need to attach these to your chest because you won't be wearing a bra
to support them tonight," she explained. "It takes about five minutes for
the glue to set. While it's drying I'm going to attach some fingernail
extensions on your hands. I've already applied fingernail polish on them,
so we won't have to wait for them to dry. Come on Danni!" she rallied me
to hurry. "Let's go!"
I was suddenly apprehensive about what was happening. I felt a complete
loss of control. All day long, and for the first time in a while, as Mandy
and I shopped for Grace's engagement ring, I felt like I was in control of
the direction of our relationship. I was going to be the man tonight - the
man who was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him. Now, Grace was back
in control. And she was feminizing me. And I was allowing her to do so.
Voicing not even the slightest protest, I lay on my back on top of Grace's
bed. She shook the aerosol adhesive and sprayed a wet patch in a sweeping
gesture over each of my nipples and an approximately three-inch swatch
around them. Next she picked up first one, and then the other, of the two
hefty silicone breast forms, alternately spraying the underside of each
with adhesive, and then carefully attaching them to my chest.
"There," she said. "Now lie still while the glue sets."
I watched her working on getting me ready. Her face was serious as she
concentrated on her work. Taking each of my hands into hers, she quickly
and deftly attached stick-on nails to each of my own nails. It seemed as
though the false nails were longer than some she'd applied on me on prior
occasions.
After a few minutes, she carefully checked each breast form to see if they
were firmly attached. They seemed to be. Before she let me up, however,
she began applying some flesh colored cream along the upper edges of each
breast. Once she'd feathered the cream out, she dusted the cream with
flesh colored setting powder.
Smiling, Grace assessed her work. "That looks good. No one will ever be
able to tell those aren't real." She then added, "But it would sure be
better if they were real. Don't you think?"
'What was she saying?' I wondered. No - it wouldn't be better if they were
real. Rather than disagreeing with her, though, I said nothing.
Directing me to stand, she helped me sit up. The breast forms hung from my
chest, sagging much like a real woman's breasts sag when unsupported by a
bra. They felt different somehow. More real. Grace led me to her vanity
and had me sit down. She went right to work on my face. Her hands were a
well-coordinated series of motions as she worked on my eyebrows, then my
eyes and eyelashes, and then applied facial coloring. Making me pucker my
lips, she outlined them with a lip pencil, and then filled them in with a
shiny, wet, bright pink lipstick that matched my fingernail polish
perfectly.
"Mmm, Mmm, Mmm," she exclaimed. "You are going to look beautiful Danni.
Come on. Let's get you dressed. You're going to love the dress I bought
you."
"You bought me a dress?" I asked. "I'm not wearing one of yours?"
"Of course I bought you a dress. It's a Jessica McClintock! You shouldn't
always have to wear my clothes Danni," she chastised me for questioning
her.
She handed me a pink panty girdle with garters attached. "Here. Put this
on baby. Tuck your clitty good," she instructed me.
'My clitty?' Damn her! Why did she do that?! I pulled the tight fitting
undergarment up my legs, tucked my penis firmly between my thighs, nestling
it up tight against my butt crack, and then snugged up the girdle. Grace
gave me a gentle shove toward her bed, causing me to sit back down. She
then slid black stockings up each of my legs and attached them to the
garter straps.
She picked the cocktail dress up from the bed and asked, "Do you like?
Your first Jessica McClintock!"
I told her it was very pretty. And it was. The dress was pink. The top
was a pink lace bustier with a square neck, a ruched bodice and empire
waist. The pink skirt portion was a short, taffeta, layered ruffle skirt
with a white tulle petticoat. The dress was accented with black lace on
the mid-riff, with a black ribbon sash and bow. The dress was quite short,
a fact that would highlight my black, silk stocking-covered legs. But my
first Jessica McClintock? That seemed to presuppose a second.
"You are going to look gorgeous in this baby," she assured me. "Gorgeous!"
Holding it out for me, I stepped in. Grace pulled the dress up my body,
settled my breasts into the bra cups built into the strapless dress, and
then tugged the zipper up the back. As the zipper closed, the dress
tightened around my upper body, forcing a substantial amount of cleavage to
reveal itself. I couldn't take my eyes off of the resulting display. And,
I thought, neither would anyone else who saw me tonight. In a word, I was
voluptuous.
While I admired my image, Grace kneeled down and helped me step into my
heels. She'd bought me a pair of pink, paten leather, three-inch heels. I
thought, thank goodness for small favors, as I'd come to learn that walking
in anything higher than three-inch heels was a demanding task. Then, just
as quickly as that thought crossed my mind, I realized that Grace's choice
of heels for each of us resulted in her standing a little taller than me.
Grace stepped back to examine me. "Almost done. You are going to look
smashing Danni!" she declared.
She went to her jewelry box and returned with a necklace made of three
strands of pearls. When she fastened it around my neck, it fell to just
above my accentuated cleavage. Next she attached a pair of clip-on
dangling pearl earrings to each of my ears. Finally, she adorned one of my
wrists with a two-stranded pearl tennis bracelet, and the other with a
pretty gold watch.
Turning me to face the mirror, she asked, "So? What do you think?"
I wasn't sure what to say. The make-up job was flawless. My face looked
pretty, and ultra-feminine. The dress was gorgeous, I had to admit,
especially considering the sultry cleavage. But, something was missing.
Surely Grace did not intend for me to go out in public without a wig. As
things stood at the moment, I would never, not be mistaken for a man. Even
worse, a sissified man. I looked at Grace, the unspoken question in my
eyes.
She looked back at me as if to say, 'What? You don't like?' Instead, she
suddenly smiled and said, "Don't worry baby. I have the perfect wig for
you to wear tonight. I just wanted you to see what you'd look like without
one. Wait. I'll be right back."
When she returned, she was carrying a full blonde wig. She nestled it onto
my head and attached it with bobby pins. She then brushed it out,
highlighting the floppy curl around the base of the wig, which was of
medium length and just grazed my bare shoulders. The addition of the wig
changed everything. Now, I looked nothing like a man. I was pure woman.
The other thing that stood out to me was that, while I looked beautiful
and, voluptuously sexy even, I also looked like an innocent girl. In fact,
the visage Grace created reminded me of Betty Draper, the January Jones
character in the television series, "Mad Men." Guys were going to be
staring at me all night.
Grace was watching me absorb the look she created. "Not bad, huh?" she
asked, smiling.
I looked at her and had to smile back. "No. Not bad." Despite my
misgivings, I had to admit, I looked amazing. And I liked it.
Grace handed me a small, black clutch purse and said, "Then we should go,
or else we'll be late."
I said, "I'll be right there. I need to get something."
Grace said okay and left to ring up the elevator.
I went to my shopping bags and retrieved the engagement ring. Opening my
purse, I slipped it inside, for later. I smiled as I thought of how
incongruous it was going to feel later when I asked Grace to marry me while
I was dressed as a sexy, innocent looking woman.
As I walked across the floor to meet Grace at the elevator, my high heels
clicking on the marble floor, the elevator arrived. We stepped on together
to begin our descent toward what would surely be a momentous evening in our
lives together.
Immediately, I felt apprehensive about exiting into the lobby with Grace.
If Walter was still manning the desk, he would have to be able to put two
and two together, and realize that I was dressed as a woman.
As if reading my mind, Grace asked, "Are you okay Danni?"
I turned to her and admitted, "I'm worried about Walter. Surely he'll
figure out that I'm me. I mean, that I'm wearing women's clothes. What
will he think?"
Grace replied soothingly, "You don't need to worry about Walter honey. We
hired him for his discretion. He'll never treat you with anything but
respect."
I looked at Grace, my face filled with the shock of her revelation. "You
mean, he knows? But it doesn't matter? Because he'll never say anything
to me?"
She nodded, "Exactly. So don't fret about it. Okay?"
I didn't like her explanation in the least. So, all this time, Walter
always knew that Grace was feminizing me. Crap! Still, I realized there
was nothing I could do about it. So, instead, I just geared myself up to
face the situation. Sure enough, Walter was on duty. As we crossed the
lobby together, our heels making a racket, Walter moved to hold the door
for us.
"Good evening Ms. Andrews," Walter greeted Grace. To me he said, "Good
evening ma'am." His greeting was so generic, and spoken with such
detachment, that I couldn't really tell if he recognized me for who I
really was, or was simply being polite to whomever Grace was with.
Grace and I each said good evening in reply as we exited the apartment
building. There was a black town car waiting in the circle as we exited.
A tall, black man exited the driver's side and came around to open the rear
door for us.
I looked to Grace, a confused expression on my face.
Reading my mind, she explained, "I thought we might have some wine with
dinner and didn't want to worry about driving. So you hired a driver," she
smiled.
I was beginning to wonder who was in charge of our date. I had only asked
Grace to make reservations for us. Instead, she had taken care of
selecting our wardrobe, and even our transportation. I felt like she was
the guy, and I was the girl, on this date. There was nothing to be done
about it now though. Here I was, dressed up as a sexy girl, going on a
date with a woman I was about to ask to marry me. I reminded myself of
Mandy's advice - go along with whatever she wants - just make sure the
evening is special.
I slipped into the car first and slid across the plush leather seats to the
other side. Grace slid in next to, and close to, me. Our driver went
around to his door, got in, and asked, "Where to?"
Grace replied, "The Hay-Adams Hotel please."
She immediately turned to me to gauge my reaction. I was a bit stunned.
Seeing the look on my face, she shrugged, and smiled sheepishly, "You told
me to make reservations. I've always wanted to eat dinner at their rooftop
dining room."
Remembering that I was in the presence of a man, in as feminine a voice as
I could muster, I giggled and replied, "I'm glad that I paid off my credit
cards this week. I've never been there either."
"Then this will be a very special occasion," she quipped.
"Indeed," I said, thinking, 'You have no idea!'
Grace held my hand as we were chauffeured to our destination. When she
laid her head upon my shoulder I nearly melted. Just about then, I noticed
our driver checking us out in the rear view mirror. I didn't think too
much about it though. I figured he'd seen it all in his line of work.
When we pulled up in front of the Hay-Adams, doormen quickly converged upon
our car, one young man assisting Grace, and another me. They greeted us
warmly and cheerfully.
"Welcome to the Hay-Adams," they said almost in unison.
The young man who helped Grace from the car asked, "Are you lovely ladies
meeting gentlemen tonight?"
Grace answered him, "No. We have reservations on the rooftop."
To our driver she said, "You'll wait for us?"
"Yes ma'am," he said. "As you wish."
I wondered if he'd gossip and tell the doormen we were together.
We were mesmerized as we walked into the main lobby. The grandeur of the
decor took our breath away. I'd heard they'd just undergone a major
renovation. The architecture was incredible. Grace was oohing and aahing
about how beautiful it was. I smiled to see that she was so pleased, even
if I didn't personally select the venue. I was happy that she was excited.
I wanted the evening to be perfect for her.
Another thing that was obvious to me as we walked into the lobby was that
heads began to turn - both men, and women. Two sexy and beautiful women,
out together without men, wasn't so common that attention wasn't drawn to
them. Not to mention, Grace held my hand, a clear indication that we
belonged to each other. Or, at least, that I belonged to her. While I
felt self-conscious about being in public dressed as I was, and with
another woman, Grace seemed unaffected by the attention. In fact, I think
she relished it.
As we walked, I was conscious of my gait. Having my penis tucked between
my thighs, held snuggly against my butt crack by my girdle, caused me to
rub it constantly as I walked. That, combined with the way my ass was
raised due to my high heels, was causing me to walk with a somewhat
exaggerated swish of my rear end. Add to that, the short, flared, flirty
skirt of my dress, and I drew a lot of attention. Mix in my utter fear of
being discovered to be a man masquerading as a woman, and you can
understand why I felt extremely self-conscious.
We stepped into the elevator to carry us to the rooftop dining room. Two
other couples - men and women - stepped in behind us, laughing and
chatting. It was obvious that they were together. Each of the men cast
surreptitious glances at my buxom breasts. What was it about men that make
them so enamored by a woman's breasts?
I also noticed the two girls giving us a 'once-over.' They were very
pretty, and dressed up for a nice evening as well. One of them, a cute
redhead, spoke to me, "I love your dress. Is it a Jessica McClintock?"
I smiled. In a breathy whisper, I replied, "Thank you. Yes. It is."
Then, thinking I should return the compliment, I said, "Your dress is very
pretty as well."
She thanked me. Then her friend asked us if we were going to have dinner on
the rooftop. Grace told her we were and that it was our first time there.
"Are you meeting anyone," the brunette who was talking to Grace asked.
Grace, characteristically frank, replied, "Actually, no. We're together."
The brunette seemed to understand what Grace was saying. "Oh," she said,
seeming somewhat embarrassed for being too nosy. After that, the elevator
grew uncomfortably quiet. When we reached the top, and exited the
elevator, they said goodnight and wished us a pleasant evening. We
returned a similar sentiment and approached the ma?tre d'.
He greeted us pleasantly. "Good evening ladies. Do you have
reservations?"
"Yes," Grace advised. "Andrews. For two."
'Andrews?' She even made my reservation in her name.
He scanned his list. "Ah! Yes!" he announced. "Your table will be ready
in about fifteen minutes. Would you like to get something from the bar
ladies?"
Grace said that would be wonderful and so he escorted us to a small stand-
to table near a window. A waitress promptly approached us to take our
drink orders. Grace ordered her usual, a Cosmo, while I had a glass of
chardonnay.
When our drinks arrived, I quickly raised my glass to make a toast. I
wanted to seize back some control over our date. I was, after all, the one
who asked Grace out.
"To you Grace," I began. "In a short time you have made an amazing impact
upon my life. I could never have imagined myself with anyone as beautiful
and lovely as you are. I love you. And I always will."
She smiled as she listened to my toast. "That is so sweet Danni. I
suppose I can drink to that. I love you too baby," she added.
We gently clinked our glasses, and each took a sip.
Grace looked around the bar at the many couples. She said, "You know
Danni? There isn't a woman in this room who wouldn't be thrilled to be as
pretty as you are. Do you realize that?"
I think I probably blushed. I really didn't know quite how to react to her
statement. What was weird was that I think I was actually pleased to hear
that I compared favorably to other women. But I wasn't a woman. As much
as I loved Grace, and as much as I wanted to please her, this aspect of our
relationship was tricky for me. I simultaneously liked it, and felt
uncomfortable about it. It was hard to explain.
"Do you really think so?" I asked.
Grace smiled sweetly. "Danni? Are you so unaware of how people - men and
women - look at you when you're dressed as a woman?"
I was afraid to admit it to her, but I was aware. I shook my head no.
"Well, pay attention," she said. "You are a head-turner."
I blushed at her compliment. We sat quietly for a few minutes, watching
the other couples enjoying the evening at the opulent dining facility.
Momentarily, a waiter approached us to let us know that our table was
ready. We carried our drinks with us as we were escorted across the dining
area. Tuned in to Grace's statement that I was a 'head-turner,' I was more
aware of the accuracy of her observation. People were turning their heads
as we walked past. Of course, I couldn't be certain whether that was
because of Grace, me, or the two of us together. In any event, people were
most definitely watching us.
The waiter sat us at a table for two that overlooked Lafayette Park. From
there, we looked right at the White House and the Washington Monument. The
view could not have been more magnificent. Butterflies began to stir anew
within my stomach as I considered what I was about to do.
Our table was somewhat removed, and private, from the other diners. I was
happy about that. Worrying about concealing my male voice as I talked to
Grace would not be as much of an issue.
Our waiter ran over the various specials on the menu. Everything sounded
wonderful. Grace settled upon a salad, she-crab soup, and broiled
Maryland-style crab cakes. I ordered a Caesar salad, Manhattan clam
chowder, and a tuna filet. We ordered a bottle of Chardonnay to go with
our dinner.
We finished our drinks from the bar by the time the wine arrived, and then
sipped on our wine as we quietly enjoyed the view. The evening was
perfect. Not too hot. Not too cool. I was thankful for that, given the
scant dress that I wore.
Grace never let on that she thought the evening was anything more than a
special evening out. Meanwhile, I struggled as I kept trying to work out
in my mind how I was going to broach the subject, when the time arrived.
Thus, we engaged in small talk throughout dinner, and until we ordered a
dessert to share - pecan pie a la mode.
Still having failed to get up the courage to pop the question, I suggested
after dinner drinks. As we slowly enjoyed the warm brandy we'd chosen,
Grace said, "A penny for your thoughts?"
"My thoughts have a little bit bigger price tag than that," I smiled, happy
with the opening Grace had just provided.
"Really!?" she replied. "Now you really have piqued my curiosity."
"Do you remember my toast at the bar?" I asked her. "Earlier?"
"Mmm hm," she nodded.
"I meant it. What you have done to my life is beyond words. I never want
to be without you Grace."
"That's sweet," she replied. "I think you're special as well baby."
I struggled for the next words. Then, opening my purse, I withdrew the box
containing the engagement ring. Grace's eyes locked onto the box, a sense
of understanding about what was about to happen suddenly hitting her.
As I opened the box, I said, "Grace Andrews, would you do me the honor of
agreeing to be my wife?"
The expression on her face was interesting. It wasn't shock, or even
surprise. But it wasn't as if she expected the question either. On the
other hand, she didn't immediately say yes.
She lifted her hand to her lips as she looked, alternately between my eyes
and the diamond ring in the box. I began to worry that she was about to
decline. And who could blame her? Here I was, a man dressed like woman
asking her to be my wife. Doubts began pinging around in my brain. How
foolish could I have been? Thinking a woman like Grace would want to spend
her life with a femmy guy like me, when she could have any virile, strong
man she chose. I was fine to play kinky sex games with. But marriage was
an entirely different matter. Time came to a standstill while I waited for
Grace to turn my proposal down.
"Danni," she began. "I'm sorry to seem hesitant. It's just that I don't
know what to say. I, I never thought I'd ever find a man like you -
someone who could love me and accept me as I am - someone who would give
their self to me as completely as you have. And I didn't see this coming."
I started to speak - to apologize for being so presumptuous. Grace
silenced me with a soft touch of her finger to my lips.
"No. Wait. I'm not through," she said. "What I'm trying to say Danni is
that I absolutely want to spend the rest of my life with you. Yes! I will
marry you Danni! Yes!" she smiled lovingly.
I was so geared up to accept her rejection that I didn't immediately
decipher her response. Then it hit me.
"You will?!" I repeated.
"Of course!" she affirmed.
Then, in what should have been one of my more embarrassing moments, I began
to cry. Yeah. Like a girl.
Grace began soothing me. "There, there honey," she assured me sweetly.
"It's okay to cry. I'm happy too," she said as she took my hand in hers.
"Come on now," she said excitedly. "Put it on my finger!"
Still sobbing, but gaining some control, and grinning from ear to ear, I
removed the ring from its box, took her hand in mine and began sliding the
ring - a perfect fit - onto Grace's slender finger. Just as I was doing
so, our waiter walked up.
He obviously didn't know what to make of what he was witnessing - a woman
placing a ring on the finger of another woman.
"Excuse me ladies," he coughed embarrassedly. "I was only checking to see
if I could get you anything else."
Grace spoke up. The ring was on her finger. She held it up for the waiter
to see.
"We're getting married," she announced without the slightest hint of
embarrassment.
The waiter was speechless. Two women getting married? Me? I was
mortified! I could see by the reaction from neighboring tables that other
restaurant patrons heard Grace. Even nowadays, with Gay rights being what
it is, the idea of two beautiful women - lesbians - getting married, was
not something you saw or heard about everyday.
Stammering, he said, "W, we, well, congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Grace said. "We're very happy."
Then she asked me, "Honey? Should we get the check then?"
Trying to hold it together, I replied, "Yes. Please. Bring us the check."
The waiter, clearly relieved to be excused from further uncomfortableness,
retreated to get our check. Meanwhile, many of the people who had burned
holes in Grace and me when we walked in, continued to steal glances at us -
the two hot women who had just gotten engaged.
Grace was smiling her devilish grin. "Are you okay Danni?" she asked.
I wanted to be mad, but I was so happy that she'd said yes, that I couldn't
bring myself to be cross.
"No. It's okay. You just really never cease to amaze me," I told her.
"You may as well get used to it," she whispered. "Seeing how you just
proposed and all. Because I'm not giving the ring back," she laughed.
The situation was pretty funny, so I had a good laugh too.
Just then the waiter brought the check. He glanced first at Grace, and she
shook her head, nodding at me. So he placed the check before me and said
he'd return in a few minutes.
I glanced at the check. It was higher than I thought it was going to be.
I pulled my wallet out of my purse and realized that I was about fifty
dollars short on cash. Grace was watching me. I looked up and asked, "Uh,
I'm sorry, but I seem to be a little short on cash. Do you have any money
I could borrow to pay the check?"
"No," she replied. Smiling, she added, "I thought dinner was your treat.

My penis twitched involuntarily between my thighs. She really knew how to
push my buttons.
Just then our waiter returned with the bill. He bent over to me, as if to
be discreet. "Ma'am?" he whispered. "Could there be a mistake? You seem
to have, ah, given me someone else's credit card," he said holding my card

I glanced toward Grace. She was watching me intently, interested in how

As calmly as I could, I retrieved my wa
